For those of you who have an interest in the urban fox and its

The urban fox, and indeed the rural fox, is beneficial to have around
if you are a keen gardener, or for that matter, live any where rodents
are found. Not only does this asset keep the garden clear of slugs it
also keeps the rodent population down.


Only if it knows how to climb over a twenty foot high glass
topped brick and concrete wall. I haven't seen many foxes
doing that.

It feeds on mice, rats and other small mamals. It will also eat road
kills and any discarded food like pizzas thrown away by the local drunk.


So do seagulls. In fact, they even eat the vomit emitted the
local drunks after discarding their food like pizzas. Yummy!


in other words given the chance it will improve your environment
for free. Take time to visit the above web site.


It would help if you could also put dog food out for it during
in-clement weather.


**** off nutjob, dog food stinks. Foxes are predatory, they can
either fend for themselves, or **** off and die. Nature red in
tooth and claw, m'kay ?

And anyway, the seagulls would eat it.
